Abstract Aim Predicting the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in victims cardiac arrest (CA) remains challenging. Cerebral regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) measured is feasible, and higher initial overall values seem associated with ROSC. However, these observations were limited to analysis few small single-centre studies. There a growing number stud...

Permanent brain damage after cardiac arrest and resuscitation is determined by many factors, predominantly arrest (no-flow) time, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (low-flow) time, and temperature. Research since around 1970 into cardiopulmonary-cerebral resuscitation has attempted to mitigate the postischemic-anoxic encephalopathy. These efforts' results have recently shown outcome benefits as doc...

Cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation for cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) is often unsuccessful. Therefore, any method that could decrease the significant mortality associated with CPA would be valuable. Current pharmacologic management of CPA involves the use of epinephrine for increased cardiac output and systemic vasoconstriction; however, this agent is associated with a significant number of ...

OBJECTIVE Despite advances in medical care, survival to discharge and full neurologic recovery after cardiac arrest remains less than 20% after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. An alternate approach to traditional cardiopulmonary resuscitation is extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which places patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and prov...

OBJECTIVE Recent work suggests that delivery of continuous chest compression cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an acceptable layperson resuscitation strategy, although little is known about layperson preferences for training in continuous chest compression cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We hypothesized that continuous chest compression cardiopulmonary resuscitation education would lead to greate...

introduction: hospitals are the best ground for providing health promotion and prevention services besides health care services. this study aimed to determine the impact of establishing standards of health promoting hospitals on hospitals' indicators in one of the public hospitals of iran. materials and methods: this research was a case-control study that included fatemieh (case group) and...

introduction: emergency department thoracotomy (edt) may serve as the last survival chance for patients who arrive at hospital in extremis. it is considered as an effective tool for improvement of traumatic patients’ outcome. the present study was done with the goal of assessing the outcome of patients who underwent edt and its predictive factors. methods: in the present study, medical charts o...
